Chapter 310: Shuffle the Cards

After talking, Lu Li and the others walked all the way to the mountainside. In fact, both groups of people were sure that the two princes were resting here.

One is to search the vicinity according to the eunuch's instructions, and only the manor in front of him is left, and the other is to hope for energy.

In the eyes of great Confucian Lu Zhi, the entire Mang Mountain is composed of various colors, mainly gray-purple, densely packed, almost occupying the line of sight, and constantly spilling out, followed by gray-red, scattered scattered around, Finally, it is gray-green, and occasionally you can see a few places, all distributed at the foot of the mountain.

Gray is dead, purple is a symbol of the royal family, red is a symbol of the three lords, and green is the worst. Some people who are not of high rank but have made great contributions to the country are specially approved by the emperor to be buried in Mangshan to enjoy the mourning and honor.

And these changes are all brought about by the divine stone outside the sky, which makes everything in the world have aura.

At this moment, the red light in the villa soared into the sky, like a red crow falling from the sky.

Chuan Mingong in central Henan was not polite, and asked the doorman directly: "Where are the two princes?"

"..." The doorman hurriedly waved his hands, and then pointed to his ears and throat.

On the side, Jiang Sheng, who consciously acted as the younger brother, was too lazy to talk nonsense and pushed him away.

Which well-respected family would use a deaf or aphasic person as a doorman?

As soon as he entered the door, Cui Yi, the owner of the villa, came to meet him and asked Min Gong why, not long after, Lu implanted it inside, all doubts were relieved, and he led everyone into the hall.

In fact, this meeting place was surrounded by a group of imposing soldiers, during which more than a dozen eunuchs shuttled back and forth, kneeling down to eat.

Seeing this, Lu Li raised his eyes, looked through the wall of people, and saw two teenagers, his face pale.

One of them was a bit older, probably the soon-to-be-successor Shihou, that is, Emperor Shaodi of the Han Dynasty. He knew that someone was coming to welcome him, so he seemed a little edgy. Gives a sense of frivolity.

On the contrary, Dong Hou, who was kneeling below, looked more solemn even though he was slightly younger.

Of course, if you have to pick a fault, there must be one. Sensing someone looking at him, he subconsciously leaned against the corner, only half of his body was blocked by Habayashi Wei, revealing a sense of restraint.

"Lu Shangshu." Zhang Rang saluted.

However, Lu Zhi didn't even look at him, he just knelt down and pleaded guilty to the two people who were still in shock: "The old minister is late, I hope the two Highnesses forgive me."

Last night, he only rescued Empress Dowager He, and he felt very ashamed in his heart, now seeing that the young emperor and Dong Hou were fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Lu Li and his group took the initiative to put the weapons and armor outside the courtyard, the young emperor calmed down a little, he hesitated and said, "Are you here to protect me? Are you here to hijack him?"

"I'm here to escort you." Pan Ming cupped his hands.

Not far away, when he heard the word hijacking, Chuan Mingong in central Henan hastily kowtowed and cried bitterly: "The old minister is guilty of death and failed to protect His Highness. Now King Qin's teacher is on the way, please return the capital."

"Your Majesty passed away. The country cannot be without a king for a day. I hope that His Majesty will return the capital so that the hearts of the subjects can be at ease."

Obviously, Dong Hou was ignored, even though he was equally honorable and loved by the late emperor, but his age was different, not only the group of scholars headed by Yuan Kai, but also pure ministers like Lu Zhi, all had their heart for Shi Hou .

As soon as someone mentioned the capital, the young emperor's eyes were filled with tears, and he said firmly, "I won't go back alone."

At the same time, his gaze drifted unconsciously to Shang Fang's supervisor, Qu Mu. Now that Jian Shuo is not around, he is the only person who can give him a sense of security.

Hearing this, Chuan Mingong in the middle wept loudly, blaming himself more and more for his incompetence, which caused the blood of the first emperor to flow among the people.

In addition, he hated Tai Fu Yuan Kui's party even more, and he was so bold as to lead troops into the palace.

For a while, the monarch and his subjects were all crying, the old and the young wanted to hug each other.

Dong Hou and Liu Xie had no choice but to comfort his elder brother and Min Gong with words. Lu Li secretly marveled, he did not expect that the king of subjugation in later generations, Han Xiandi would have such determination at such a young age.

In this situation, how the two kings behaved, the superior and inferior judged.

Anyway, Lu Li felt that Dong Hou seemed more suitable to be emperor than Shaodi, and this move might be able to win over Dong Zhuo——

Dong Zhuo didn't have much prestige in the court, let alone a scholar, and it was completely dishonest and inappropriate to come to Beijing to control the state affairs, but it was different when Dong Hou succeeded to the throne.

This prince was brought up by the Queen Mother Dong since he was a child, and he has long regarded the Dong family as his natal family. If he becomes emperor, wouldn't Dong Zhuo, a fat man surnamed Dong, be able to shamelessly seek relatives?

Then he changed himself and became the emperor's uncle, and the post of "general" in this dynasty has always been held by the emperor's uncle, such as Dou Wu and He Jin.

Of course, this idea is just a flash in my mind, not to mention the disadvantages brought about by driving away wolves and tigers, Lu Zhi and Yuan Kai alone will not be able to pass.

The most important thing is, how can a side be qualified to speak freely on this kind of issue.

However, everyone in the room reacted differently to Shao Di's poor performance.

Chuan Mingong in central Henan only felt ashamed, and it was the fault of his ministers.

Shang Shu Lu Zhi frowned slightly, the Young Emperor was indeed young, and the man-made disaster he encountered was rare in a hundred years, cowardice and resistance were understandable, but with Dong Hou as a foil, he seemed mediocre.

As for Zhang Rang and others, they are naturally proud. The emperor originally wanted to make Dong Hou emperor, but he had to give up because the ministers in the court opposed it.

In addition, with the killing of the general and bloodshed in the two palaces, the situation has undergone subtle changes.

Subconsciously, Zhang Rang looked at Lu Li who was standing next to Lu Zhi, secretly observing: He is so heroic, he must be a rising star in the army.

Why haven't I seen it before?

In terms of force, Zhang Rang is not as good as Jian Shuo, but his ability to observe words and demeanor and his photographic memory make him firmly seated at the top of the ten regular servants.

Zhang Rang thought of a possibility in an instant, and tentatively said: "Whose subordinate is this general, why is he so unfamiliar."

Lu Zhi and Min Gong didn't bother to talk to him.

But Lu Li said that the opportunity had come, he greeted Zhang Rang with a calm face, and replied: "The original Bingzhou Yangwei General Lu Mengming."

Just don't mention the general He Jin.

On the way here, he had already prepared a draft: After Ding Gong heard the admonition of the qi master, he was worried that he would respond to the admonition, so he specially sent them to Beijing to secretly protect the emperor, and in order not to violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, he allowed the three of them to resign with their seals.

Now that He Jin is dead, the people who know the inside story are nothing more than Yuan Kai, Yuan Shao and others. In the current situation, the two princes would not dare to believe even a word from their mouths.

What's more, even if Shi Changshi knew that the original intention of Lu Li and others to come to Luoyang was to kill him, he wouldn't care about it, because the palace change last night had made the eunuchs exist in name only, and saving their lives was the right thing to do.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Zhang Rang regained his energy in an instant, got up and walked to Lu Li, holding his slightly protruding stomach with one hand, and putting his hand on his shoulders, and said in a kind tone: "A hero is born as a boy, this lord Although he was in the capital, he had also heard of the name of the general who beheaded King Guli and put down Baibo Yellow Turban."

"At that time, Captain Ding sent a memorial to the general to ask for meritorious service. Those ruthless scholars didn't believe it and said that they would send envoys to investigate thoroughly. In the end, it was the Marquis who overcame all opinions and made a guarantee to the late emperor..."

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your kind words."

There is indeed such a thing, but it's not as noble as what Zhang Rang said. Lu Li didn't show it on the face, but couldn't help complaining in his heart: An official position of a majestic general, the price is clearly marked, 15 million yuan, one point less No way, but Ding Gong was promoted from Bie Jia to governor, and he gave thirty-five million yuan, plus two golden horses, before he got his wish.

However, Zhang Rang's memory is really admirable. The official positions he sold, from the local county magistrate to the governor of a state, are not five thousand, and there are three thousand. He can remember a general...

When his thoughts changed sharply, Zhang Rang laughed again: "Benhou can be regarded as a hero with discerning eyes."

Several other members of the Ten Permanent Attendants agreed: "The general is in his prime, and it is my great fortune to be able to resign and come to Luoyang."

"That's right, the general is comparable to the former champion of the Han Dynasty."

Just as Lu Li was about to answer, he saw that Lu Zhi was examining himself. Then he calmed down and said in a solemn voice, "The country has supported the servants for four hundred years, and they are fighting for righteousness. Today is the day!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Sheng and Wang Li were stunned, and finally understood how different they were compared with the top students, and they talked one after another, and they could get along everywhere.

"General Gao Yi, compared with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and his like, he is more than ten thousand chips away."

Perhaps it was Lu Li's previous sentence "the festival of righteousness, it's today" that attracted Lu Zhi's approval. He turned his eyes away and stopped looking at him, and went forward to talk to the young emperor and Dong Hou.

"I don't know how many warriors the general brought with him this time?"

Zhang Rang asked again.

There were five sentences before and after, four of which were flattery, praising Lu Li's young hero, then making connections, and finally drawing out the issue of Jiabing, no doubt they wanted to use this kind of quick change of topic and set out a few words to tell the truth.

Unfortunately, Lu Li had nothing to hide, and said calmly, "There are only three people."

"Will there be no family soldiers and private songs accompanying you?"

Zhang Rang seemed a little unwilling.

Now, Shangshu Lu Zhi and Min Gong from central Henan came to welcome him. The imperial city must return, but the north and south palaces were massacred, and no guards or eunuchs survived. After returning to the palace, who will be in charge of guarding the palace?

All are traitors!

Returning to the palace is tantamount to killing at the neck. Instead of doing this, it is better to trust the warrior.

However, Lu Li's answer once again disappointed the ten servants. He shook his head, "The last general and Mr. Ding want to serve the country, but they also know that there is no edict that troops should not leave the station without permission. There are only three of us on this trip."

Seeing his frank face, Zhang Rang knew that what he said was true, and his heart was mixed. He was happy that Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, knew etiquette, knew how to advance and retreat, and could be reused, but he was worried about who would protect them after returning to the palace.

At this time, the young emperor stopped crying, and saluted Lu Li together with Dong Hou: "It's the good fortune of my Han family that the general came here from a thousand miles away."

The reason for this is because the military chaos last night was too horrifying, and the two princes felt that the Han Dynasty was about to perish and wolves were everywhere.

Looking at it now, there are still faithful people in the world.

"The two Highnesses are at the end of the war, please rest assured to return to the palace, there are ministers waiting, and what happened last night will definitely not be repeated."

Lu Li hastily knelt down on one knee.

The same is true for Lu Zhi and the others, but unlike Lu Li, they are more saddened that the dignified prince should be like this. As a courtier, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is humiliated and ashamed, especially the tomb of Emperor Guangwu is away from this place Not far away, at this moment, the ancestor of Zhongxing may be watching them from the sky!

"In the palace province, there are generals from Yubayashi who will be in charge, and your highnesses can rest assured." Speaking of this, Lu Zhi looked at the more than a hundred guards around him, and added: "There are also two hundred guards in the old minister's mansion." The soldiers are all tiger warriors who put down the Zhangjiao Rebellion in the past, and they can serve as His Royal Highness's guards."

"There are a hundred soldiers in the old minister's mansion, all of them are young and strong, they can serve as your Highness's guards." Min Gong hurriedly expressed his opinion.

Zhang Rang knew that the fire was about to come, and also persuaded: "Your Highness, Jian Shuo and Cao Fang have four thousand loyal followers who can enter the palace as guards."

In fact, it was Lu Zhi who really prompted the attendant to speak. He was a veteran in the battlefield, his reputation was only half that of Huangfu Song, and he was a great Confucianist in the world. When he got angry, Yuan Kai would be frightened.

In this way, the two young children, Shaodi and Donghou, have no reason not to return to the palace.

Sizheng, the sun is blazing.

The nearly 200-man army slowly walked southward. Since they escaped in a hurry through a secret road, the young emperor had no mount beside him, and Cui Yizhuang only had a thin horse, so Lu Li and Pan Ming took the initiative to give up the horse and handed it over to the two men. Your Highness rides.

The black-maned horse saw that the master treated the boy so respectfully, so he fell down on the ground in a sensible manner, and kept snorting to make him happy after the young emperor sat down firmly.

The ancients advocated auspiciousness, which can be roughly divided into five types, that is, five levels, which were called in ancient times: Linfeng Wuling, the Jiarui of the king.

This Jiarui is the highest level of auspicious sign, which refers to the five spirits encountered by the emperor when he travels, namely, unicorn, phoenix, tortoise, dragon, and white tiger.

The black-maned horse is eight feet five inches high, and it can be called a dragon, which is rare in the world.

Because of this, this scene fell into Mingong's eyes, and it became a kind of Jiarui——

The great man was in turmoil, and he needed a miracle to cheer up people's hearts and restore his image. The young emperor entered the city on this horse, so that the people could feel at ease.

As for Shi Hou, who was young, he didn't think so deeply. He only knew that Lu Li and his party treated him very well, so he couldn't help feeling a little dependent.

In the eyes of the scholars, the ten permanent attendants are the foundation of the association, but the young emperor thinks it is more of a protection. The rebellious army is raging, and they will kill anyone they see. They don't care about the royal prestige, let alone the emperor who has just passed away.

Frankly speaking, the young emperor's uncle is the great general He Jin, and he should hate the ten permanent servants now, but the bloodshed in the two palaces last night really let him know who can be relied on at critical moments.

"Your Highness, I will lead the horse in the future."

As the owners of the horses, Pan Ming and Lu Li took over the job obligingly, holding the reins and walking in front like the guardian gods.

As soon as these words came out, Shao Di and Dong Hou were even more moved, and gradually recovered their youthful nature, and began to talk more, often asking about battles and the state of Bingzhou.

"General Lu, what does King Guli, the son of the Xiongnu Shanyu, look like? I heard that they drank their hair and soaked their blood. If their father dies, their wives and concubines will be inherited by their sons. This is contrary to the etiquette of our Han family."

"Miner Xiongnu, are you worthy of being compared with my Han family?"

At this time, Jiang Sheng made a statement to brush up his sense of presence. He expected that the young emperor would be happy, and he would casually seal himself a thousand-stone official.

A smile appeared on the young emperor's face, and he was about to speak, when suddenly he saw banners covering the sky and dust covering the sky in front of him.

Thousands of rides to Beimang!

Situ Wangyun, Taiwei Yang Biao, Shangjun Jianshuo, Zuojun Chunyuqiong, Youjun Zhao Meng, and a group of people came to meet them.

The young emperor's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the Chinese Army, who was among them from a distance, and his smile gradually froze.

at the same time.

Shangfang Supervisor Qu Mu, who was silently protecting the safety of the two princes, glanced at the flanks and shouted: "Who is it!? Come out!"

After the words fell, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xun Yu rode their horses out of the grass.

The final stage, daily calvin.
